Where in California? I'm in Capitola, central Ca on the coast.

How do you stay ahead of all the rust and oxidation? All that metal in the basement seems daunting...do you frequently polish or just let things go?

Hi, run the vac without the belt and brush roll, if the sound is gone then you know it's not the motor...if you still hear the noise, then it's not the brush roll. Isolate as many things as possible for easier diagnosing. Could be a motor or brush roll bearing.

Rob Great idea re: the activated carbon...probably make sure the carbon dust is removed, only the pieces present. Also, great idea putting the essential oils on the filter. Oreck outer bags have a small pouch for a tab, that would be a good place for an essential oil cotton ball, then the...
